will those tires fit?

[vladj]

do you guys think 295/50/15 at the back and 245/60/15 will fit on my 1979 cutlass without touching the frame?

the old owner said he put different springs in to lift the back end up. also what kind of BS and rim width would i need?

this is how the car looks like:

thanks;

anyone??

it should be about a 10" rim... and im not 100% but 295 might be a little tall...

i had 295s on my 2dr malibu on an 8" rim with 3.5"bs. never touched the frame but i had to keep the air shocks up to keep the lip off them

 

[vladj]

do you have 295/60R15 or 295/50R15?

i had 275 60 15s on a 10 inch wheel without having a clearence problem on the frame, close to the arches before i put brand new springs in it.

Should fit. I had them on 10x15 Cragar steel wheels on my car . But i have , i think , springs out of a Caprice in the rear and did a little cutting...
But if it goes down in the rear very much , there is not much room left (had 5 persons in it and full tank).
Now i have 275-60-15 on 8x15 Draglites with 12mm spacers to clear the frame.
Problem could be , that the rear axle is not in the middle of the car , mine had an offset to the right of about 10 to 15 mm (about 0,5 inches).
So check that before !
